Babel Fishh

You can listen to song after song by Houston hip-hopper Babel Fishh without realizing theres something missing: rhymes. Thats because even without them, this emcee can flow as smoothly as any other rhymesayer. Babel Fishhs words are backed by abstract beats sampling everything from loud banging sounds to creepy organs. This may sound like a hard-to-follow, avant-garde jazz project, but it all actually comes together into a listener-friendly sound that will no doubt be appreciated by the fans of headliners Zechs Marquise. El Pasos progressive rock quartet ZM stays true to the genres extended-jam style in songs like 34:26. The opus is divided into four parts, which youll no doubt hear in full today after Babel Fishh and fellow openers The Television Skies, Wolves at the Door, Yoko Mono and DJ Shilbalam. 7:30 p.m. Warehouse Live, 813 St. Emanuel Street. For tickets and information, call 713-225-5483 or visit www.warehouselive.com. $8. Thu., Dec. 6, 2007
